PUMA X SHELFLIFE

Ok cool lemme give you a nice little excerpt:

"Sports lifestyle brand PUMA and SHELFLIFE, (premium
streetwear brand, sneakers and graffiti supply store) have joined
forces once again. This time to create their first range of men’s and
ladies sneakers. No other independent retailer in South African
history has ever collaborated with a large brand like Puma… until now,
making this a benchmark for art fanatics and sneaker collectors alike!
This collection, which will be released in South Africa and worldwide
on the 8th of August, it will include a Suede Mid and Suede Lo style
in both the women’s (Laces and Ladies) and men’s (Train Runner)
sneakers.

The design of the “Train Runner” series draws inspiration from local
trains bold yellow & grey “caution-tape” design. South-African metro
trains are notoriously dangerous for many reasons, making this train
system internationally famous and a highly sought after target for
graffiti artists worldwide to make their mark on"

This shit is MAJOR...THEY AINT PLAYING!!!!

If you love sneakers, if you wana be seen at the most exclusive party or if you just wanabe part of history then get involved...

RONNIE FIEG X ASICS

Now everybody knows my relationship with Nike Sportswear and that I am a die hard Nikehead. But before all that I am a lover of dope sneakers regardless of brand and if I wasnt then that would just make me a poser.

With that being said its every so once in a while that a sneaker comes along and makes you say  "Damn...I wish my team made that". The Asics Gel Lite III "Leatherback" is that shoe for me right now. Another stellar design piece by Ronnie Fieg a long time collaborator with the brand, highly influential figure in the sneaker community and by all accounts an all round nice guy. I remember when I got put onto these collabs a while back and it reminded me that my dad was heavy into Asics when I was a young youngin and then threw out all the boxes in our garage marked "old shoes" to try and find his old joints but to no avail *sigh*.

Simple, subtle and classy is how I would sum up the shoe but I'll let the pics do the talking...

2Bop Clothing is staying true to the priniples of streetwear which is originality. While almost all South African streetwear brands piggy back trends and have influences that lack substance this Cape Town based brand is steeped in a rich unique concept that guides the design.
